This summary was created by AI, based on 2 opinions in the last 12 months.

Experts generally express cautious optimism about Canadian Tire Corporation Ltd (CTC-T). One expert highlights the challenges faced by retail companies in establishing a strong competitive moat, noting that while CTC has improved operational efficiencies, it still falls short compared to more robust competitors like ATD. Additionally, concerns about discretionary spending driven by economic factors such as oil shocks and inflation are pointed out, indicating potential risks for CTC's performance. The other expert prefers ATD due to its recent innovative loyalty initiatives and overall growth strategy, suggesting that while CTC is valued fairly, it may not be the best investment choice amidst rising costs related to tariffs and big-ticket items. Both reviews underscore the competitive landscape of retail and the importance of resilience in economic downturns.

WMT

BUY

There has been a focus over the last few months on retailers because they are less sensitive to costs like manufacturers. Prefers this retailer over Shoppers Drug Mart (SC-T).

BUY ON WEAKNESS

Interested in 3 key stocks in the retail area, Rietman's (RET.NV.A-T), Canadian Tire (CTR-T) and Rona (RON-T) and will buy one or more of them on any pullback.

TOP PICK

3/4 years ago, there was a great fear that Wal-Mart (WMT-N) and Home Depot (HD-N) were going to eat their lunch and the stock dropped to its book value. Since then it has gone from strength to strength to strength. Big box stores are more profitable and their credit cards are outstandingly profitable.

BUY

Their model price is $60.80. A mispriced asset.

WEAK BUY

Have a lot of great real estate assets. Very strong brand that's held up in the face of very strong competition. Now own Mark's Work Wearhouse and are upgrading their stores. Doing a very good job. Looks a little pricey.

DON'T BUY

Good growth of earnings. How much more can they grow? Dependent on consumer spending.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

Had a terrific run in 2004. When Wal Mart came to Canada, Canadian Tire more than held their own. Has done a very god job of refurbishing their stores. Fully priced. A 10/15% decline would be a good time to get in.

BUY

Retail is a very poor sector, but this company has really delivered.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

A pretty good story. When Wal Mart came to Canada, he decided that Canadian Tire was going to have a pretty hard time and didn't buy. They have done a good job of competing with Wal Mart. Would look at it if it dropped a bit.

HOLD

A pre-eminent Canadian retail franchise. Likes the company. In the short term, the stock is fully priced. In the last few years, they have done well in cutting costs and creating more shelf space and generating sales and that is now near its end. One of the big drivers has been credit cards. Will probably tread water.

DON'T BUY

Greatr company. Almost flawless in the execution of its business plan in view of the threat from US big box stores. Fairly valued here.

BUY

From a 3 year view, this is one of the great long term retailing stories. The only knock against the company is the ample need of credit to finance the customers' purchases. They are putting a cap of 50% of purchase for financing and are watching the credits like a hawk.

BUY

Seeing increased spending on home renovation/home improvement and this company sells into that market. A lot of the goods they are selling are coming from the US and with the stronger Cdn$, these goods are more profitable. Watch out for increased volatility in the share price which is starting to move in that direction.

HOLD

A lot of inventory is paid in US$'s, so they should benefit from the weaker US$. It is probably already built into the price. Going into the seasonal slowdown now.

TOP PICK

Marks Men's Wear acquisition has worked out very well. Financially strong with a strong cash flow and strong growth. Expects 15/20% growth in the next several years. Credit card business has been growing very well.
